Expert Pre-Listing Appraisal Services

Pre listing appraisals are a critical step in the process of selling a property, as they help ascertain the market value of the property. Whether you are selling your property for sale by owner or hiring and expert real estate agent/broker you should definitely consider a pre sale appraisal.  Investing in an appraisal is a cost-effective measure that can potentially save you thousands of dollars, valuable time, and unnecessary stress in the long run. Here's how pre-listing appraisals work and why they are important:

What is a pre-listing appraisal?

 A pre listing appraisal, also known as a pre sale appraisal or a seller's appraisal, is an evaluation of a property's current market value conducted by a professional pre listing appraiser before the property is listed for sale. 

Purpose of a pre-listing appraisal

 The primary purpose of a pre listing appraisal is to determine the fair market value of the property. This value is what the property is likely to sell for in the current real estate market. 

Benefits of a pre-listing appraisal

 Pricing Strategy: Sellers can use the pre sale appraisal to set a realistic and competitive asking price for their property. Overpricing can deter potential buyers, while underpricing can result in financial losses. Negotiation Tool: Having an independent appraisal can serve as a valuable negotiation tool when dealing with potential buyers. It can help justify the asking price and provide transparency. Market Knowledge: Sellers gain a better understanding of the local real estate market conditions, helping them make informed decisions. Avoid Delays: Pre-listing appraisals can help avoid delays in the sale process by addressing any valuation issues up front. The Appraisal Process: During a pre-listing appraisal, a certified appraiser will inspect the property, take measurements, note the condition and features, and assess recent comparable sales in the area. They will use this data to calculate the property's estimated market value. 

Appraisal vs. Comparative Market Analysis (CMA):

  It's important to distinguish pre listing appraisals from CMAs, which are typically conducted by real estate agents. A CMA provides an estimate of a property's value based on recent sales of similar properties in the area. While CMAs can be useful, an appraisal is a more comprehensive and objective assessment conducted by a licensed pre listing appraiser. 

Cost of a pre-listing appraisal

 Pre listing appraisals come at a cost, which is usually borne by the seller. The cost of not getting an appraisal can be significantly higher by under or over pricing the property for sale.  The timing can vary but is typically done shortly before or right after the property is listed for sale. The price varies by complexity, lot size, and location of the property. The average pre sale appraisal is around $400.00.
